From the end of Jiajing to the era of great pirates

After carrying back three large bags of salt from the cave, Zheng and Zhou Zhou also discussed it and finally decided to let Mr. Zhou, who was more knowledgeable, go explore the water.

So, when the market in Qinglong Town happened to be held the next day, Mr. Zhou went to the market carrying a small bag of salt.

Although this place is near the magic city of later generations, and there is no shortage of salt anywhere near the sea, the quality is good, not to mention the lack of bitterness, and each grain of salt is like a gem crystal, which is very pleasing to the eye.Anyway, Mr. Zhou had a lot of changes during this trip, and he carried a big bag of things when he came home.

The price of salt is low in coastal areas, but that doesn't mean that table salt cannot be sold for money, and it takes a lot of energy to boil salt.If you just change things, it is still very useful, especially the salt that Lao Zhou brings is of high quality.

Of course, he also brought back a lot of tails from this trip.

The Yangzhou salt merchants were a scene of the Ming Dynasty. Later, when the Qing troops entered the customs, they first targeted this place. Although they were unfair to the people, they had no place to complain to the salt merchants in the city, especially since most of the salt merchants were still Ran.Checking illegal salt is mainly done by this group of people.

Master Zhou didn't bring much salt to the market, but the quality was unusually good, and he was very eloquent. He also made reservations with several big merchants to exchange the salt for silk, raw silk, etc. The price was quite reasonable. The merchants' spies immediately spotted him and followed him all the way to Zhengjia Village.

Just follow the place to find the venue.

Whether you cook it or use other methods, there must be a place to do it. The salt field in Zhu Jue is indeed a large area, paved with stone slabs, and it is very conspicuous.But that is in another world, where can I see it here?Therefore, the first wave of spies' returns made the salt merchant a little irritable.

The current generation of salt merchants along the coast are local salt merchants with the surname Xiao.The old man stopped taking care of things, and his eldest son, Xiao Zhisheng, was in charge.

This is also a family of ruthless people, and there is almost no one who is not ruthless in this business.

After hearing the report from the front, he immediately sent out his thugs at home, "Keep an eye on where they are buying the goods. When they see the goods, they immediately go up to beat them and bring the bodies back. I want to see who is so arrogant and dares to do so." Do this in my territory!"

At the same time, on the other side of the New Easter Island, which is the name Zhu Jue gave to his isolated island in the pirate world, Zhu Jue is feeling worried.

Now that he knew that this island was not an isolated island, but just a small island in this magical world, he was eager to get the chart.At least you need to know where Frosty Moon Island is so you can send someone as an apprentice.He found a few fishing boats in Zhengjia Village, but they were of no use. Using fishing boats to explore the road could not be used on his own family.The three children went to work as soon as they arrived, and even spontaneously made fishing rods and caught fish by the salt field. Zhu Jue was quite satisfied and was embarrassed to let their elders risk their lives.

"Uncle Prince, the salt pond was full again just now, why don't you just put it in a sack and throw it at the door?" Zheng Laoshi's grandson, now a child, named Zheng Shitou, is usually the one who speaks.

"Yes." Zhu Jue nodded, "The door is open. You can just drag it over and put it there."

"Why is the door open?" Zheng Shitou was a little confused.

"Because someone is coming, I don't know who it is," Zhu Jue said meaningfully: "But if I want to use them to practice swordsmanship, I have to use them to explore the way."

Isshin-ryu swordsmanship teaches the basics. If you want to achieve success in this swordsmanship, you must rely on actual combat. Zoro's growth process should perfectly illustrate this point, but in Zhu Jue's situation, he definitely cannot join the pirate group. Go out and wander around, after all, the two world systems themselves are separated.Let’s deal with the rebellion in Ming Dynasty first, and then study the pirate side.

And if Ming Dynasty wants to build a noble family, it is better to make the first pot of gold from the private salt business, so a fight will be inevitable.Zhu Jue opened the door, waiting for these people.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a group of more than [-] people appeared at the door, gaping at the scene in the apartment with their mouths wide open.

"Well done! You didn't keep me waiting in vain." Zhu Jue slowly drew his sword and assumed a tit-for-tat stance.

"You are actually prepared? But what's the use of you alone? Brothers, come together and chop him down!" The thug's name was Xiao Yan.He is a famous name in the world of later Internet writers, but this person is only a thug.Seeing that Zhu Jue was the only one on the other side, I suddenly felt that I had the advantage. I didn't even care to wonder what was going on with this strange house, so I waved my hand and rushed over with others.

The thugs on the opposite side had never learned swordsmanship or knife skills, and they just charged in a swarm. Zhu Jue was not worried about being surrounded. He made a mistake in his steps and blocked the three swords facing him, then turned sideways, relieved his strength, and finally used his strength. , using the strength of the three thugs, they deflected the swords of the three men to one side, leaving their own empty door wide open.

These three were the meat on the chopping board. The unknown sharp knife in Zhu Jue's hand turned, stabbing, picking, and wiping with very small movements. The three thugs suddenly trembled, and blood oozed from their bodies. Fall slowly.The momentum of the thugs suddenly stalled, but before they were shocked, Zhu Jue had already bullied him, and his target was Xiao Yan.

There was a thug blocking the way. Zhu Jue just glanced at it casually, then rushed past him and made a gesture to stab him. When the thug tried to block, he changed his moves. The blade grazed the opponent's vitals, and his body gracefully brushed past the opponent with clean movements. Extremely neat.

Xiao Yan was also frightened. They were thugs raised by salt merchants. As long as they dared to fight and take action in times of trouble, they didn't expect to meet such opponents. In the blink of an eye, four of their men died, just like the legendary swordsmen. , he seemed to have had a nightmare, and could only retreat subconsciously for a while.But he couldn't escape being bullied by Zhu Jue, who wiped his neck with a knife.

A group of Xiao family thugs just looked at each other, looking at each other as if they were murderous immortals, walking around casually around them, but accompanied by fatal sword lights. When everything stopped, everyone on their side fell down, not lying down. All dead.

"The remaining people, if you don't want to die, find a fishing boat and come back after finding an inhabited island. You can run away if you want, but let me tell you in advance that this is another world. It is impossible to return to the Ming Dynasty. You may die here or run away at any time, so be careful. Also, don’t let me hit you. Now, go ahead.”

The cold words came from Zhu Jue's mouth, and the killers didn't have time to think too much. They ran to the fishing boat one by one, and soon raised the sails and sailed away.

"Uncle Prince, you are so powerful. It would be great if I could learn such a powerful swordsmanship." Only then did Zheng Shitou come up to him, full of wonder.

"Shitou, go talk to your grandfather about what's going on here. Tell them that someone might come to negotiate. Just tell him to sell it at a price. Your village doesn't have that many people to run illegal salt sales." Zhu Jue casually ordered: "As for swordsmanship, if you have a chance, when you are older, I will send you to learn swordsmanship. Tell your grandpa that young people in the village will be sent over as soon as possible. Time is very tight."

"Yes." Xiao Shitou promised and ran away.
